Is it okay to keep the nasal cannula in your nose, if your oxygenconcentrator is off?
I mean, of course you can breath with it, but won’t you get too much CO2? Or probably more prone to infections because you breath in your nose stuff ?
Someone experience?
A little context: I do not have copd but need an oxygenconcentrator, my drops fluctuate. Let’s say I am walking around, POC on. Then I notice: SpO2 is normal, I can turn it off. Keep on doing what I’m doing, POC stays on my back, nasal cannula in nose. When I notice it drops I turn it on. Without knowing how long between. I’d say max 1 hour. But maybe even as short as 5 minutes.
(It’s not possible to prevent the drops by keeping it on. If I can move without it, I don’t need it, and keeping it on will give me too much oxygen).
